I'm writing an essay, and I wanted to cite a phenomenon I remember reading about in passing a while ago. Something along the lines of how rickrolling led to people being less likely to click unfamiliar links and thus indirectly improved their cyber-resilience. I think it was called the "rickroll effect" or the "rick astley effect" or something similar?
In any case, I can't find any trace of it on google. I think I'm mixing up rickrolling with some other online trend? Unless I imagined it wholesale, but surely that can't be the case. I mean, I swear I read a wikipedia article on it.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

The Rickroll (2006) is harmless. The Anna Kournikova computer virus (2001) was not. Maybe you're thinking of that.

Interesting report on the virus:
